A lovely set of five (5) of Cera "Dow Jones" stock market rocks glasses. Such a gorgeous pattern with heavy enamel and gold embossing of the stock market industrial average (from 1958-1968) in 22k gold, black, and white. Similar to Culver and other MCM glassware manufacturers, Cera used used a heavily textured embossing method with real 22k gold in the pattern.
This set includes 5 low ball (old-fashioned) glasses: 3 of the glasses include the decade of 1958-1968 and 2 of the glasses include the decade of 1966-1976
Maker/pattern: Cera, Dow Jones
Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Cera"
A bit about this glassware manufacturer: Cera Glass was made in Hackensack, NJ, USA, in the 1950s & 60s. They created elegant cocktail glasses, barware and other specialty pieces, which were sold in high end department stores of the era. Anthony Velonis, who was already a famous WPA silkscreener and artist, started the Cera Glass Company which pioneered methods of silkscreen printing on glass. Similar to other Mid Century glassware makers, his designs were trimmed in 22K gold.
Measurements: 4" tall x 3 1/4" in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition overall with mild signs of age. The gold is extremely vibrant and in great shape. One of the gold bands is ever so slightly less gold than the others (it's very subtle). Great glass clarity. Very minor surface wear on the bottom exterior of the glasses. In short, these glasses are in good vintage condition with extremely mild signs of age. Truly a lovely set of Mid Century glasses. Cheers!
Please note: Mid Century glassware often has imperfections (i.e. tiny bubbles in the glass, or a "seam" from when the glass was being created, an extra spot of gold or enamel that made it on a clear part of the glass, a small "wrinkle" in the glass, etc -- purely the nature of vintage glassware).
Please also note: if you're trying to match existing glasses in this pattern, please be sure this is the year span (1958-1968 and 1966-1976) that you're looking for. Cheers!
